Chapter 228

“Are you sure?”
After a moment of silence, the musician asked with a serious tone.
King level!
That’s an incredibly high standard!
Even though he’s currently a Ninth Level fate bearer, reaching king level would likely take him several years.
And if luck isn’t on his side, it might even take over a decade.
But now, Wealth Spirit comes back from a mission and claims he has a king-level summoned beast?
“I’m sure.”
Wealth Spirit replied with a grin. Why would he lie about something like this?
Wait for the captain to misjudge the mission and lead everyone to their deaths? No way.
“Alright!”
The musician gave a slight nod and then said, “Let’s go! We’re changing our mission!”
“We’re dropping the simple teaching task at the National Defense University!”
“With king-level combat power in our team, why bother wasting time there?”
He didn’t press Wealth Spirit for details about his gain.
Matters of personal combat power are strictly private!
If a fate bearer’s information gets exposed, even an enemy one or two ranks lower could find ways to counter them.
“Captain, since I’m the strongest now, shouldn’t you hand over your position to me?”
Wealth Spirit said, walking beside the musician and rubbing his hands together.
The musician replied, “……”
“Buzz!”
“Ding ding!”
At that moment, an orange light flashed, accompanied by urgent warning bells at the fate bearer headquarters.
Everyone present frowned at the sound.
Immediately, their wristbands lit up with an orange glow, and a message interface popped up.
“Orange Level Two Alert!”
“A crack in the Arrow Realm has suddenly appeared in North Korea, and a large number of beings from the mystical realm are emerging.”
“According to reports from North Korean fate bearers, it’s estimated that four races are present.”
“North Korea is in danger!”
“Support is urgently needed from China!”
“All fate bearers willing to assist, please prepare and await further orders.”
The musician frowned slightly as he looked at the information on his wristband. A Crack in the Arrow Realm in North Korea?
Cracks in the Arrow Realm appear randomly; the larger the territory and the greater the number of Arrow Realm beings nearby, the more frequently these cracks will occur.
At the same time, the beings emerging from the cracks will be stronger.
Due to the powerful official forces in China, once a Crack in the Arrow Realm is discovered, they will immediately dispatch forces to suppress it.
If a team of high-level fate bearers can’t handle it, they will mobilize king-level beings!
If king-level beings aren’t enough, they will call on emperor-level beings!
They will escalate one level after another, until eventually, they attract the attention of the God of Theater and the Star God!
“Should we go?”
After Wealth Spirit finished reading the information, the musician asked softly.
“Captain, I heard that if the Arrow Realm portals aren’t open, beings from the Arrow Realm can’t come out freely.”
Wealth Spirit asked, “Then what does it mean for these beings to come out of the Crack in the Arrow Realm?”
The musician nodded slightly and replied, “You’re right; if the portals aren’t open, the beings on the Arrow Realm are heavily restricted, and under normal circumstances, they can’t come to Earth.”
“As for the Crack in the Arrow Realm, it’s believed to be a result of the unstable space during the merging process of the Arrow Realm portals with Earth’s space.”
“This instability allows beings from the Arrow Realm nearby to take the chance to emerge.”
At this point, the musician paused and continued, “However, the beings that come out from the Crack in the Arrow Realm are somewhat weaker than those inside the realm.”
“They don’t get Earth’s recognition and are likely affected by Earth’s spatial constraints. These are just our guesses.”
“But the fact is, their power is diminished.”
“So, usually, when friendly countries near China ask for our help, we go to assist. After all, if our strength allows, the Crack in the Arrow Realm can be seen as a benefit.”
Wealth Spirit’s eyes moved. “Then if our country’s strength isn’t enough and other countries don’t come to help, what happens?”
The musician replied, “Exactly. The danger of a country being destroyed, like North Korea and South Korea, is that their land is small. Without outside help, even a slightly larger spatial crack could lead to disaster.”
“Should we go?”
“It’s up to you; after all, you’re currently the strongest in our team.”
“……”
Wealth Spirit was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected the musician to leave the decision to him.
He had only joked about becoming the captain earlier.
“So, should we… go?” Wealth Spirit asked tentatively after a moment of thought.
Hearing this, the musician nodded slightly, then looked around and asked, “Does anyone have any objections?”
Everyone exchanged smiles and nodded in unison.
“No objections.”
“With a king-level being leading us to level up, how could we possibly object?”
“I’ve heard about the Crack in the Arrow Realm a few times, but every time I saw news about it, the siege was already over. It’s a bit of a shame; this time, I want to see it for myself.”
“……”
The musician listened to everyone’s responses, his expression turning serious. “This time, everyone must stay on their toes. Even though North Korea isn’t that powerful, the fact that they sent out a distress signal, which even triggered an orange alert, suggests this isn’t just some minor issue.”
Wealth Spirit thought for a moment; he not only had king-level allies but also a life-saving token given by the Star God.
He wasn’t sure exactly how powerful this token was, but he figured it could handle a few king-level beings from the Arrow Realm without a problem.
After all, the Star God had assured him it would keep him safe within the Bug Spirit Realm.
……
Meanwhile, in the God of Martial Arts’ office.
“Brother God of Martial Arts, what are we supposed to do about this?”
Fighting God asked, scratching his head as he sat next to Su Wen.
He had just received the news after the orange alert went off. Apparently, all the other fate bearers with the character “God” were in seclusion, leaving only him available, so he was given the highest authority to mobilize forces.
“Why are you freaking out?”
Su Wen glanced at Fighting God. “Isn’t it pretty clear in the message?”
“You’ve got the highest authority, but that doesn’t mean you have to get involved.”
“In other words, they’re just letting you know, got it?”
“If you’ve got any issues, speak up now. Otherwise, your people will handle coordinating the various parties to deal with this.”
Fighting God nodded. “Oh, I get it now.”
“You really don’t have any experience with this kind of thing?”
“Nope. The Star God and the God of Theater both told me my level’s too low and that I should focus on leveling up for now. They said not to worry about anything else.”
“That makes sense. They probably didn’t expect everyone to be in seclusion at the same time.”
Su Wen thought for a moment. “If you’re bored, you can head over there too.”
Fighting God was a bit surprised. “But don’t you have something important to discuss? Is it really okay for me not to be here?”
“I feel like this big thing you’re talking about might actually involve me.”
Su Wen: “……”
It *does* involve you!
And in a big way!
It’s a life-or-death kind of thing!
Your gut feeling is spot on!
